Thought leaders with diverse perspectives in learning, innovation, and safety make up the task force, including former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, co-chair of the Digital Learning Council, and Rosario Dawson, actress and co-founder of Voto Latino, as honorary co-chairs.

“The Internet is arguably the most potent force for learning and innovation since the printing press. The web is reshaping work, the economy, culture and everyday life, just as book and the printed word did 500 years ago.” -Aspen Institute Task Force on Learning and the Internet

The Task Force will work to engage with the public online in order to invite maximum input and then launch an online library of resources to highlight important research and other assets. Members will discuss, analyze and review public input to develop recommendations in early 2014 in order to advance healthy online experiences for young people. The task force mission is to enable students to make smart decisions and responsible choices while on the Internet.

With public participation, the Task Force will make some meaningful progress toward building a safe and engaging online learning environment for our kids. Follow on twitter at @AspenTaskForce or on Facebook and help contribute the this important conversation.
